The Sterling and Crown exploration properties are owned by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Coeur Sterling, Inc. (“Coeur Sterling”) and are located in southern Nevada, The Sterling gold project is a past-producing open-pit and underground heap leach gold mine located in the southern portion of the land package with major permits in place.

Coeur is in the process of amending existing permits at the Crown and Sterling projects to support future planned activities.

Deposit Type

  • Sediment-hosted
  • Carlin-type


Summary:

Sterling is fairly typical of sediment-hosted, disseminated precious metal deposits, also termed Carlin-type deposits.

Gold occurs in the rims of microscopic pyrite grains (actually arsenian pyrite rims). The pyrite formed during hydrothermal alteration and brecciation resulting from the interaction between: gold-bearing solutions rising along high-angle fault feeders from depth; soluble carbonate rocks; and iron-bearing silty lithologies. The process was most effective at a site of permeability contrast or barrier, and was accompanied by decalcification and solution brecciation, and silicification and clay alteration in breccia clasts, matrix, and in the wall rocks. Subsequent oxidation of the pyrite converted it to iron oxide/hydroxide minerals but without removing gold particles, allowing heap leaching of the ore to extract the gold. Favourable geological conditions existed (1) in the original Sterling mine at the thrust contact (siltstone/phyllite structurally above dolostone, especially trending along intersecting fault feeders), and (2) in the 144 zone at the contact between silty dolostone of the basal Bonanza King and the underlying Carrara limestone. The clay-altered margin of a large, Tertiary quartz latite dike in the 144 zone was also conducive for high-grade gold mineralization. In all cases, mineralization is generally stratabound but discontinuous, and typically ranges in thickness from 5-10 ft to over 30 ft (2 to 9 m).
